Mid-infrared and Raman spectrometry for quality control of pesticide formulations

2005

This article deals with recent developments in the use of vibrational spectrometry for the quantitative analysis of active components in commercial pesticide formulations. We review the techniques, such as Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and FT-Raman spectrometries, and measurement modes, such as stopped flow or flow injection. FTIR is being used increasingly in the determination of pesticides in agrochemical products because of its relatively short analysis time. However, FT-Raman spectrometry provides direct analysis of solid and aqueous samples. It is therefore clear that these techniques enable fast, non-destructive, precise and accurate measurements, so vibrational spectrometry appea…

Extension of the dynamic range of flame atomic absorption spectrometry using flow injection analysis with variable-volume dilution chambers

1996

Abstract A simple and inexpensive procedure is proposed for the extension of the dynamic range of flame atomic absorption spectrometry measurements using on-line dilution. The proposed methodology is based on the use of a manifold with two coupled dilution chambers and a zone injection system. The samples are prediluted in a closed system which includes a variable-volume mixing chamber (10–120 ml) and two injection valves. The samples are injected through one of these valves, and the other is employed to take 100 μl of prediluted samples which are then passed through a new dilution chamber (volume 1–10 ml) and aspirated by the nebulizer of the instrument. A third injection valve mounted in …

Determination of Amitriptyline with Bromocresol Purple and Flow Injection Analysis

1990

Abstract The study of some amitriptyline-dye systems was carried out in order to determine the best precipitate for the turbidimetric determination of amitriptyline using FIA. The reagent selected was bromocresol purple. The chemical and FIA variables were optimized. The calibration graph was linear over the concentration range 30.0–200.0 ppm of amitriptyline hydrochloride. Some interfering substances were also investigated.

Automation of the determination of hydrogen peroxide, dichromate, formaldehyde and bicarbonate in milk by flow injection analysis

1992

Automatic flow injection methods for the determination of hydrogen peroxide, dichromate, formaldehyde and bicarbonate in dairy products are proposed. They are based on reaction with vanadium pentoxide, diphenyl-carbazide, fuchsine-sulphur dioxide and alizarin, respectively. Sample pre-treatment (paper and membrane filtration, dialysis) is widely discussed for on-line incorporation. The usefulness of these methods was tested by applying them to different commercial samples, satisfactory results being obtained in all instances.

FIA-fluorimetric determination of adrenaline by oxidation with a solid-phase reactor of manganese dioxide incorporated in polyester resin beads

1995

Abstract The FIA-spectrofluorimetric determination of adrenaline was carried out by reaction of the drug with manganese dioxide entrapped in a polymeric material in a solid-phase reactor; the oxidized drug was monitored fluorimetrically at 540 nm (Ioxg. 330.0 nm). The calibration graph for adrenaline was linear over the range 0.5 - 20 μg ml−1 with a relative standard deviation of 2.0% (at 5 ug ml−1) and the sample throughput of 65 h−1. The influence of foreign compounds was studied and the method was applied to the determination of adrenaline content in a pharmaceutical formulation . ∗Present address: Institut of Chemistry, Warsawa University, Bialystok Branch, Bialystok, Poland.

Determination of promethazine hydrochloride with bromophenol blue by a turbidimetric method and flow injection analysis

1992

Abstract A flow injection analysis procedure for the turbidimetric determination of promethazine is proposed. The sample solution is injected directly into the carrier reagent stream, which is composed of 1.16 × 10 −3 M bromophenol blue at pH 1.20. The calibration graph is linear over the range 25–197 ppm of promethazine. The influence of some foreign substances was also investigated. The method is applied to promethazine determination in a pharmaceutical formulation.

Determination of essential metals in complete diet feed by flow injection and flame atomic absorption spectrometry

2002

A prior study of different sample pre-treatments for the determination of metallic elements in complete diet feeds was performed in order to choose the most suitable for these samples. The studied pre-treatment were: acid extraction (lixiviation), wet digestion (on microwave oven) and dry ashing mineralization (calcination). Lixiviation (acid extraction) with hydrochloric acid was selected due to its accuracy, fast and simple pre-treatment procedure. Due of the different levels of concentration of the metallic elements in the samples, the same manifold was used but with small variations. Copper (with on-line pre-concentration by chelating Chelex-100 resin), calcium (with on-line dilution) a…

Spectrophotometric and Fluorimetric Determination of 9-Amino Acridine by Flow Injection Analysis

1990

Abstract The spectrophotometric and fluorimetric determination of 9-amino acridine is carried out by means of the FIA procedures and on the basis of its own color or fluorescence. The methanol used as a carrier stream resulted in a significative increase in sensitivity and sample throughput. The method is applied to the drug determination in pharmaceutical formulations.

Cerium(IV) arsenite as a solid-phase reactor for use in flow-injection analysis. Spectrophotometric determination of promethazine

1992

Abstract Cerium(IV) arsenite is used as a strongly oxidizing solid-phase reactor in an unsegmented continuous-flow injection assembly. Its preparation procedure produces particles of uniform size with suitable physico-chemical properties for use in a continuous-flow system. A manifold is proposed for the determination of promethazine in pharmaceutical preparations by spectrophotometric monitoring of the red colour produced by the oxidized drug. A linear calibration graph is obtained over the range 5–400 μg ml −1 of promethazine.
